Mage Booklist

[Second Chances]

This is a handy booklist tracking all of the resources that the community thinks are useful for Chronicles including the Awakened. I am only starting with a partial list for now, but I'm hoping to update it tonight with the massive library of 1e books that exist for Mage. I am also taking suggestions for non-Mage books that people think are particularly useful in a Mage game. For example, I am including Conquering Heroes on the Mage booklist, since it contains rules for a new Proximi dynasty. If there is a book you think I've missed, please let me know what it is and why it is useful for Mage, and I will include it.

The Voice of Freedom by Azezel

[KaiserAfini]

Added Occultists Anonymous to the list of actual plays.

Is there any chance we could get a sticky for this topic ? Its a useful resource for everyone, helping us keep track of existing books and sources of inspiration from Actual Plays.

Dave also did a pretty good one shot called Bleak House, which is even referenced in Soul Cage:

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?thre...-house.316806/

There is also one by Azezel called The Voice of Freedom that I found really interesting:

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?thre...reedom.408237/

There is also Dave's ongoing AP, called The Man comes around, which is terrific so far:

https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?thre...around.591295/

Lastly, if I may take the opportunity, I wanted to ask a question. The mage merch pinned topic reminded me that it would be awesome if there was a Mage GM screen. But that thread is closed, is there anywhere to suggest that ?

Oh wonderful, I will add those, thank you! I'm not sure about a Mage Screen, but I would start by asking about it in next Monday's Notes and see where it goes from there.

I’ll wait until I get a chance to check it out before adding it to the list. I suspect you are right though. Deviants make such delicious Mysteries.

On a more current note, I realized I find Actual Plays very useful for grounding and inspiring my campaigns, so I’m going to add some to my various book lists. Luckily, Mage is an easy place to start since it has two actual play — The Broken Pentacle and The Soul Cage — by this Dave Brookshaw guy. You might have heard of him.

If you haven’t read them yet, links are at the bottom of the first post. If there are any others worthy of inclusion, let me know.

Damn, it has been a while since I posted here...

Added Signs of Sorcery and the Beast Player's Guide.

Jung's The Unconscious Mind --- a clear inspiration to the Mind arcanum and astral rules.
Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces --- If nothing else, it's a good read and some ideas for shadow names. But seriously, the idea of Symbolism as a Big Deal™ is rather a major theme of the game, yes?

Good ideas! I won't stick them here, since this is for gamebooks, but I'll stick them in my thread for non-fiction resources.

I would suggest adding the Changeling supplement Dancers In the Dusk, which has information about dreams from a Lost perspective (including a categorization schema that wizards might find intriguing), mechanical effects for including Fate in games, and some notes on Changeling/Mage crossovers.

Good thinking! Added it in.

In a correction of a frankly astounding omission, I've added the Chronicles of Darkness Corebook and Hurt Locker to the booklist.
